Paul Cribbin off Down Under for AFL trial

KILDARE minor star Paul Cribbin is off to Australia today (Wednesday) for a trial with AFL club Melbourne.

The Johnstownbridge man will spend two weeks down under but is expected to return a week before Kildare's all important Leinster semi final clash with Meath in Navan.

Sweet, i'll ring my mate back home who would've probably played against him and find out if he's any good.

Some web search have found these quotes

"Cribbin oozed all the skills and football attributes of a complete footballer – high-fielding, terrific balls skills and first class scoring ability as he banged home 1-2 for his team"

GAA minors is the premier under 18 competition in Ireland, basically the TAC Cup. Cribbin is starring for one of the best teams in that competition.

that sounds awesome! so if he impresses ..we might be able to pick him up in the pre draft or something end of the year?

According to Croke Park officials, the very modest Cribbin is allegedly good kicking goals on his back...

Good luck Paul.

Let's not get too carried away with Irish recruits. While I applaud the fact that we're getting back into the business of trying to find players from outside the usual sources, we should remember that the percentage of these players who make it to the AFL is still relatively low. Our last aspirant from Ireland was Nick Walsh who was brought out here and went to one of APS schools. Apparently, he once tagged Chris Judd in a school game and gave him some problems. We all got excited about our new Sean Wight but he spent the next two years either injured or playing with Sandy seconds and then went home.

Hopefully, we get a better return from this lad.

Turns out he's training here with Collingwood. Too much for us to expect us to take such an initiative.
